NewDesign - Yellow Reaperby ~shyangell

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

A depiciton of a middle-weight combat dragon of the Brit's in Naomi Novik's books. This one looks slightly more like the pictures I did for my dragon compendium. Tried to stick to the ridges of the mouth and drawn back short horns.

***

Breed Name: Yellow Reaper
National Loyalty: Britain
Physical Characteristics: Golden middle-weights; white stripes on side
Special Abilities: None
Known Members: Celeritas, Immortalis, Messoria, Felicita, Chalcedony, Gladius, Cantarella, Ventiosa, Dirigion

Yellow Reapers are a common British breed of dragons. Sir Edward Howe has noted that the Yellow Reaper breed is unfairly maligned because of its familiarity. However they have some good qualities that recommend them to this much use: they are hardy (while not being picky eaters), unbothered by heat extremes, and almost always good humored. Ordinarily, they weigh between 12 and 15 tons, with extremes as low as ten and as high as seventeen; they have nicely proportioned dimensions of 50 feet length and 80 feet wingspan. Yellow Reapers are clannish and prefer to work in a group with other Yellow Reapers. However, the practice of the Aerial Corps is to distribute them among mixed groups of dragons for balance.
They also are a breed that displays an instinctive and unavoidable tendency to drop when another dragon dives on them from above, no matter how many training they have. Which indicates that this response is more common in Yellow Reapers than in other breeds. Yellow Reapers are said to have contributed to almost every dragon bloodline in the British Isles.

Just one thing

Celeritas is more probably a Malachite Reaper (his stripes are told to be pale green, not white).

And gratz for the patience - hope I'll have enough just to make half of all the breeds' refs u did.

~shyangell Sep 19, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

I realized about Celeritas later... if you look at the Malachite reaper he's listed there too... but I left him there because it is not sure either.

Thanks... I don't think I'll do much more of them though.
